Didn't Get 1t.

HALIFAX, March ga bold and
murderous attempt was made to rob
the Antigonish agency OF the Mer-
chants Bank of Halifax. A well
dressed young man entered and asked
clerk named w. S. Currie If he could
speak with him privately. The stranger
was shown into the private office and
the door had scarcely closed behind
him when pistol was levelled at Cur
ries head and there was a loud report.
The bullet struck Currie high up on
the forehead, but did not fell
him, and ne grappled with the
dangerous visitor. A fearful struggle
ensued, the pair falling to the floor, and
another shot was fired from the pistol,
the bank Official receiving a wound in
the side. Currie continued to struggle,
and calling out to a messenger boy who
had just entered the outer Office. The lad
fled to the street and summoned assist
ance. -Four men rushed into the bank
and the man was seized, disarmed and
handed over to the authorities. The
clerks wounds We're found not to
be serious. The mans real name is
Stanley Steel, of Manchester, n. s. He

The Navy.

WASHINGTON, March 2S.-The navy
department Is still prosecuting the in
quiry made some time ago relative to
the ability of railroads and other in
corporations OF this country to trans
port boats and naval material from
the sea to inland waters. 1t has been
learned that the facilities of existing
railroad companies are limited in their
abilities to transport boats of the ex-
treme length of ITO, while the Erie
canal will permit the passage from the
Atlantic ocean to the lake. OF torpedo
boats 100 feet in length. AS the tor
pedo craft is necessary for the defense
of lake points, and are not re-
quired to be seaworthy and as large
as those intended for protection Of sea
coast, it is believed that the existing
facilities are ample. The fact that
these requirements by the department
were begun more than year ago is re-
garded by the naval officers us sutli-
cient answer to any inference that
might be drawn to effect, they indicate
preparations for a Struggle, growing
out of the fisheries dispute.

SHERMAN IN TENNESSEE.
The Senator Delivers an Eloquent Ad.
dress in Nashville.

NASHVILLE. Tenn, March ga
very large audience listened to aspeech
tonight, delivered by Senator Sherman,
on Invitation of the republican men,
bers of the legislature of Tennessee.
Senator Sherman said he accepted the
invitation believing fair presentation
made to the people of Tennessee, with
out distinction of party, of the aims
and principles OF the republican party,
both in the past and for the future,
might induce them to join in a public
policy that will contribute to the in
terests of the people Of Tennessee and
of the whole country more and greater
benefits and advantages than can possi-
bly, be conferred upon them by the
democratic party.
After dwelling upon the lessons of
political life, the senator said: "State
rights, as distinguished from national
authority, has been the disturbing ele-
ment of. American politics. 10 the
people at large both state and nation
are convenient agencies for the ex-
ercise of distinct and separate pow
ers for the common good; to the indi-
vidual citizens, they are guarantees
OF distinct and separate rights and
privileges, for which we owe allegiance
and duty. They are not hostile spheres,
but-like the planets moving in the
grand harmony of the universe in
friendly co-operation-it is the people,
the whole people, and nothing but the
people that is the governing
and paramount power of our system.
This is, at least, the theory 1 have been
taught, and it any of you, reared in
different school, have inherited a jeal-
ousy and suspicion of the federal au-
thority and an especial reverence for
that of the state authority, you may
find in this the germ of the
controversy fought out in the war.
If !. understand the principles OF the re-
publican partly would say they are en-
braced in the trinity of the Union, con-
stitution and country, the preservation
of the Union, the maintenance of the
full powers of the constitution and
growth, prosperity and grandeur of
our country IN all its parts, as it is now
or is to be. :"

like that of the Richmond Il West Point

Dining Room Tragedy.

CHICAGO, March 29.-The large din
ing room OF the Palmer house was the
scene of tragedy at 2 o'clock this
afternoon which threw the guests into
a tremor of excitement, and caused a
serious interruption to the meal for a
time. Phillip F. Barring, one of the
walters who was discharged this morn
ing, entered the room and approached
Charles f. Jordan, the head waiter, and
commenced remonstrance at his sum-
mary discharge. Jordan pushed him
off, which only exasperated Barring,
who, when he found his words had no
effect hissed through his teeth:
"1ll murder you."
The next instant the polished barrel
of a pistol flashed and before any body
could move bullet entered the head
of Jordan. He had partially turned
away and the ball entered under his
right ear. The guests surrounded the
wounded man. carrying him to the
room of DR.. Stubbs, while in the con-
fusion Barring succeeded in making his
escape. Barring is large negro and
easily recognized and is said to be dis
liked by the colored people, and anyone
is liable to betray his place of conceal
ment
